JPG vs GIF vs PNG

These graphic file formats are the most common ones in the web.

JPG or JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.  This technique is used to compress color and grayscale. This programm is best for complex images and graphics.

GIF stands for Graphic interchange format. This program is a lossless techinique and supports only 256 colors. With an animator editor, GIF images can be put together for animated images.

PNG is short for portable network graphics. This techinique is an improved one of GIF. It can be more compressed but can not be animated.

This photo is an example of a PNG format.
In my opinion  I think that the best type is JPG because it has the best color technique even though GIF can be animated so this program is also very good.

Desktop Publishing

Desktop publishing is a system that allows you to use various margins and justifications, different typefaces, and embed illustrations and graphs directly into the text. The most powerful desktop publishing systems allows you to make illustrations and the less powerful do not allow you. Scribus is a computer application that you can use for desktop publishing.

Scribus belongs to the family of applications known as Desktop Publishing programs.These create great looking documents such as CD covers, posters, logos and drawings very easily and Import photos and other artwork with precise color control. Web and print have two different objectives. Graphics used on a website are almost always unusable for commercial printing. If the text is going to be a big part of your document, start your favorite text editor or word processor and compose the text first. Bitmap images are composed of pixels or dots and are tipically on the formats: JPEG, TIFF, PNG or BMP. These generate line drawings and other artwork which is kept in a vector format inways which preserve their appearance at any scale. Vector files don't save dots, but coordinates which describe  where to draw the lines or fill shapes. One other way you can import files into Scribus is via PDF. This is more appropriate for drawings and images versus text. If you need just the text from a PDF, you can open the file in Adobe Acrobat Reader or KPDF and copy and paste from the clipboard. you can only import one page of a PDF at a time, and you cannot yet edit imported PDFs.

History of Blogging

The origin of blogging is older than Internet. It started when people had personal diaries or journals. The word blog is a mix of the words web and blog. Blogs usually are about  the personality of the author or the company employees they represent. Blogging was a popular method for online journals in 1990s. In 1994 Justin Hall a Swarthmore College student creates what is considered to be the very first blog "Links.net". People like students, prents and employees continued to investigate and work with blogs and now there are a lot of blogs.

my summer vacations

This summer I've learned how to surf in Sopelana. Every morning I would wake up at nine have breakfast and at 10 o' clock I would go to the beach. At 2 o'clock I would go back to my house and have some lunch. After a week of vacation I went to Loussane, Switzerland where I learned french and english. I stayed three weeks and I did windsurf, water-ski and played all types of sports. Every morning we had class from 9 to 12. Every Wednesday we will go to some field-trip. I went to the chocolate factory which was awesome and you could have as much chocolate as you wanted. On Saturdays you will go to the nearby cities like Geneva or Burn and on Sundays you will have some fun activities like hiking, ice-skating or you went to an aqua-park. People from all around the world came to this camp. After three weeks I came back to Marbella, Spain where I stayed till early September. Almost Every day I went to the beach and did snorkeling I also did some more water-skiing. On the afternoons I would usually play a padel match or went swimming in the pool. I have a lot of friends there at night we usually went to each others home. However some nights we went to Puerto Banus to have some dinner. There is this cool place that only makes crepes. They do them with all the imaginable topping like ham, fried eggs, cheese, strawberry, caramel, chocolate, nutella etc... After having dinner we went to the posts around the city. I really had a lot of fun this summer in Bilbao, Switzerland and Marbella. I know I'm not going to forget this summer in a long time or the friends I made in it. I made friends from New York, Barcelona, Madrid Turkey, Venezuela, Colombia, Virginia, Russia, India, Denmark, France and Italy. I hope I am going to see this friends again next year at camp.
